Mimosas and Mea Culpas: Numbing Big Regrets From Last Night
Making this for Pancakes and Booze shows this fall in Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Food and booze is kind of my wheel house and “Mimosas and Mea Culpas” features more breakfast moments…waking up full of regret and shame, filling up with more of the booze that got you there. The night crow and the morning jay representing your insatiable need to leave your consciousness despite your outward superficial efforts to show how grounded you are with your “live laugh love” coffee cup.
In my work the magic of creativity can come at several stage of production. Accidents, surprises and the actual act of drawing, painting, cutting, shaping and assembling can bring complexity and history to a piece, but also as I formulate and plan the image, strange associations and random results of Google Image Searches can give rise to a composition I had never envisioned. This has never been truer than when I was coming up with this photoshop collage. Now I can begin to recreate it on my fence pickets.
